However it happened, today it fits, and that's what counts! Nice to be in furnace weather, we have the air conditioner running this evening.

The odometer tells me that today's round-trip was of 521 miles to pick up a friend who will spend a couple of weeks in the area; a few days with me then the rest with family. When the average speed is between 75 and 85, the trip goes pretty quickly. And I got several hours of a new audiobook in. The big thing is that I finally figured out to work the phone and the bluetooth through the car. It used to startle me when it rang - well, it still does - but I know how to decline spam calls now so it's not nerve-racking. The dogs were ok with my absence since I left after I fed them breakfast and dinner happened right when I got home.

The SUV battery replacement a couple of weeks ago has thrown the fuel estimate gauge for a loop. It keeps adding to existing miles instead of resetting to the standard miles to be expected when I fill the tank. I'll query the blogosphere about resetting myself before I take my problem to the Nissan dealer. I'm avoiding them these days.
